Fonts - DPS Headline

DPS Headline Draft

Fonts: Mortuary and PunkRockShow

The theme of the Article is the impact of drugs on a growing artist, so I've used the headline 'Growing Pains' to set the tone. I wanted to use a classy font to represent growth, alongside a grunge font that connote pain, but they didn't mesh well and one of the fonts were already used for the Masthead.



Final DPS Headline

Fonts: Newsflash and Outliner No. 45

I continued experimenting with clean fonts for growth and gritty fonts for pain, and eventually used two sans-serif fonts as they're generally better for logos, headlines and such since they're visually appealing to look at, rather than easy to read.

I've warped the word 'growing' to make it bulge as it approaches the word 'pains' which creates a stronger thematic link, as the text itself mimics growth. I also used contrasting colours for each word; White for growth, as it's seen as a pure and natural - and Red for pain, which is the same colour as our blood.
